Okay, I do understand that the PLL 'A' reveal has happened a long time ago and the wave of Gossip Girl's popularity has kind of fizzled. But I, as an avid Netflix binger and a lover of series, I have started to re-watch the Gossip Girl series. And let me tell you, the ties I have discovered between Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars make me honestly question whether or not the girls of PLL are descendants of our amazing socialites in GG.

1. Rosewood

In PLL it's the name of the quaint little town in which Aria, Emily, Hannah, Spencer and Alison all originate from. And in GG, it's the name of one of Rufus Humphrey's songs, and also the name of Lily Van Der Woodsen's horse (in this case the horse came first, then the song). So since GG is set in New York and PLL is set in Pennsylvania maybe Lily got her horse's name passing through the town of Rosewood on a family trip? Honestly, it makes sense to me.

2. The strong presence of cute, little cafes.

Both of our lovely group of teens absolutely LOVE spending time in cafes and cute little coffee shops. This may or may not be a cause of PLL descending from GG and being passed on through the generations.

3. CeCes are present in both shows.

CeCe is the name of Serena Van Der Woodsen's grandmother and also the name of Alison DiLaurentis' brother/sister/old friend/AKA 'A'. Family name? Perhaps!

4. Blonde leads mysteriously disappear then return

Okay, now the time frame of the returns between Serena of GG and Alison of PLL are a bit different. But yet again, maybe it's in the genes for them to run off. There is a striking resemblance through between the gorgeous blonde tendrils of Serena and Alison.

5. The PLL theme song makes a debut at the Debutante Ball.

Okay, I understand this is just a coincidence and a matter of songs in the soundtrack but hello!!!!! This is still totally an act of confirming the relation of GG and PLL.

6. Anonymous Tech Savvy Stalker

Both shows feature the constant presence of an all knowing anonymous narrator that is always in the know of everyone's gossip. Now in GG the presence isn't as evil and out to ruin everyone as in PLL but again, the girls of PLL were surprising calm add experienced with their techy stalker, maybe they heard stories of their New York socialite grandparents' days of fighting off a gossiping ghost.

In the end, I do understand they are just shows and all that, but you can't argue that they do have their relations that do actually make sense. And maybe 'A' is just a descendant of Gossip Girl? The world may never know.
